Hi,

Sorry I'm a newbie to networking and linux and I'm trying to figure
out a way to connect to my linux box in 2 ways:
1. SSH'ing from my XP machine which is on wireless within the network
2. Being able to access it externally from anywhere via ssh or browser

I have a cable modem, a Linksys wireless router with a linux box and
XP laptop behind it. Here is a simple diagram of my network situation.

I am completely lost :( most likely because i have no idea what i'm
doing. But trust me, i'm managing to confuse myself as much as
possible.

I also signed up for a DDNS service and i wanted to know how i could
get the hostname i signed up for to point to my linux box behind my
router. Currently it just seems to point to the router itself. I
assume once I solve the previous problem above I can figure out this
one.

If anyone can help me figure this out or point me to some
documentation with in some sort of step by step process I would VERY
MUCH appreciate it. I've been trying to read previous posts but
nothing seems to make sense to a newbie like me.

Thank you in advance for your time and patience,
M
